Secondly, are you saying that an aggressive forecheck is obstruction? There’s just no pleasing some people. Play defensively they complain. Play offensively they complain.

Worst in the league? They should move to Quebec.
Best in the league? They should still move to Quebec.

Some people, I tell ya

So you want to re-set the rules of obstruction (again)? Obstruction is like holding in football, it happens on every play, to some extent. The officials pick and choose when to call it. It differs from ref to ref, team to team, player to player, month to month, and year to year. There is no clear defined line and the game is very fast. Stop confusing everybody. Either allow it or don’t, there is no middle ground.

Tue, 29 May 2012 22:13:35 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=625248#comment-76836Eiggles is right. Jersey got away with alot of picks in rounds 1-3. They got lucky league didn’t catch on to it until now. But seriously, just call what’s in rulebook and flow of game after lockout will comeback.

Tue, 29 May 2012 21:12:07 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=625248#comment-76825Thats why the communist team from norf jersey is in the final they have taken obstruction and put it in the forecheck end where it is less likely to be called instead of their own end where it is more apt to be called but not anymore !

Tue, 29 May 2012 20:27:30 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=625248#comment-76810how can you “re-set” obstruction? Does the GM’s know they have a figgin rulebook for it? Just clearly define what is obstruction and CALL WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE RULEBOOK.
